This past week has been a difficult week for churches. Churches are, by definition, an assembly of people who gather. Jesus suffered and died in order to make that gathering possible. The necessity of gathering on the Lord’s Day, if at all possible, is...

The post He Hid Not His Face from Disgrace and Spitting (Isaiah 50:4-11) appeared first on Prince on Preaching.

It is not enough that you should be what is called a popular preacher. A man may have gifts, so as to shine in the eyes of the multitude, almost as bright as he does in his own eyes; and yet possess little or nothing of spiritual light—light, the tendency of which is to transform the heart....

Crispus. Good morning, my dear Gaius; I am glad to see you. The world is busy in grasping wealth, in discussing politics, and in struggling for dominion; all trifles of a moment: let us retire from the tumultuous scene, and discourse on subjects of greater importance.

Gaius. I am glad, my dear...
